Pros

Their logo is a bunny:)

Cons

Hey, I wanted to share some stuff about where I work. The Flight department has a lot of bullying and teammates using bad language, which really sucks. The top management is all about money and they put a ton of pressure on the middle managers to be rude and push the team to the limit. Forget about having any work-life balance because they have this on-call system that wakes you up at 2 AM on a freaking Saturday! And here's the thing, they don't have a clue about how to develop software or design a good user experience. It's a mess. The only thing they seem to care about is making loads of money by selling additional stuff and fintech to poor travelers. It's like, give us 50 bucks and we'll save your hotel/flight/car for 24 hours. It's pretty sketchy. And to make matters worse, they don't even know much about the industry. They just slapped together this crappy interface to sell flights and houses from other suppliers. It's a total mess. They managed to trick Capital One and a few other investors into putting their money into this startup, but honestly, most of the cash is just going to benefit a handful of top managers. To be honest, I don't have high hopes that we'll survive until 2025. The way we do business is shady as hell.

Pros

pay, remote, some good/smart people in pockets

Cons

Senior leaders could not care less about employees and routinely make bad market decisions leading to foreseeable product issues and eventual layoff cycles. There was a time a few years back where employees criticized the dark patterns in the app - the president got pissed and said 'the data didn't show it was an issue', then a few months later when we got bad press about those patterns dismissed it as our competitors planting stories - sums up the culture pretty clearly.
